Thanks to the folks over at Motel for dress numero dos. I decided to play it classic with simple accents in black since the print on the dress is enough of a statement on its own. I've been wearing my new Jee Vice sunglasses day in and day out. The square faced shape has me gaga. And thanks to Jenna over at The Supermelon for introducing me to Purple Lab lip gloss by Karen Robinovitz. I went with "Red Sole" but of course. Goes on smoothly, isn't sticky, absolutely delicious and looks so pretty. ;)
Fun Fact:
The song you are listening to is Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin, one of my favorite crooners! This is the song my husband and I walked into the Reception, after the Wedding with. ♥

OMG your photos just keep getting better this is one really cute outfit on you.
I especially like the way you kept things simple & i see you mentioned b/c of not wanting to take away from the printed dress good idea. Exquisite. Who takes your pictures now ???

Love this outfit, you have great style. I like how you kept it simple and let the shape and pattern of the dress be the focus. The black of your accessories is the perfect accent.

Love that dress, the shape is very flattering and the print just is not tacky. Good idea on letting it do the talking but pairing it with red lips.

Such a pretty outfit! And you look very lovely my dear xoxo
I LOVE the dress!!!! It's gorgeous.
Love Bobby Darrin...have you seen the movie? It was fab.
Oh that dress is beyond fabulous on you, btw.
I like it that the shoes have a little platform. For me it defiantly has something extra when a shoe has that, especially when it's more basic.
The dress is lovely :] The only thing I miss are some bracelets, but then again you also might have reasons not to wore them :]
& wow 35 comments, I thought this post wasn't more then a couple of hours old!

adorable dress on youuu!!
the deal on cinnamon pecan...it gets kind of sickeningly sweet after a few bites but it is exciting to root around in the box for the pecans. i always get strawberries too but thought i would do a little experimenting...it's the one cereal i never get sick of!! OH and my latest favorite thing at trader joe's - they have bags of freeze dried strawberries hehehhe.

Hey Pretty Erika!!!
Do you still remember me?!
I’m sorry to have been on a blog hiatus for a few months… had to focus on some stuff, and though I resisted the urge to click on your links a few days back… I DID! And boy did I miss you special ladies… and blogging!!
So I guess count me as the prodigal blogger daughter! heehee
Can I have your dress??!!
Awhh I did a post on one of my motel dresses last night..got to say this motel dress is fabulous! I like the sleeveless vest top you've added to it also..whole look works so well.

Hot dress! I'm going to have to check out Motel!!!
Kick arse dress and photo shoot. Do you ever make a wrong move?
I love how it's almost like a classic rocker kind of look. Like describing it, youw would like it's so rock...like with the sleevless jacket and leopard print. But it's so timeless and cute. The print seriously reminds me of Blumarine Fall 2009, and I hated that show. But now your seriously making me re-think my opinion.
how come you don't wear a wedding band?
U look lovely in this animal print dress, love it especially with the pockets. Gotta check the site out, thanks for sharing the link! <3
Wow the shape of that dress is amazing on you.
absolutely smitten with that dress!
You look lovely and this song goes so nicely with these pictures for some reason!
